Question 7

Do I need a boating license or California Boater Card to rent a boat?

Accepted Answer

No. A boating license, boating permit, or California Boater Card is NOT required to rent or operate our boats. However, ALL guests acting as Charter Captain or Co-Captain must complete the Houseboats.com Boater Safety Test before departure — a mandatory internal safety policy with NO exemptions, even for guests who already hold a California Boater Card or any other boating certification. The test takes approximately 10 minutes. Minimum age for primary operators is 21 years old. Please call us at (833) 474-2782 with any questions.
